Final Thoughts

Overall the training was a good experience. If you would have told me at the beginning of the semester that I would be comfortable even feeding a live rat I would have not believe you. Although I definitely don't think I'm cut out for animal training, I am proud of myself for having the courage to work by myself. I got so comfortable with Ruby and fact that I would sometimes forget to wash my hands after holding her! Although I did Sniffy training before I began training Ruby and magazine training with Sniffy went so well that I thought the same or similar would be the case for Ruby. Yes we had a few bumps in the road but overall the experience was beneficial and informative.
